gh-138775: fix handle python -m base64 stdin correct with EOF signal

[yihong0618]

This make python -m base64 the same behavior as ast or json

• Issue: python -m base64 do not handle stdin correct like ast.py or json.tool #138775

I’m concerned that the current implementation reads the input in chunks, this allows the function to process the input as a stream via a pipe and avoids using too much memory with large inputs:

cpython/Lib/base64.py

Lines 531 to 537 in 4978bfc

	def encode(input, output):
	"""Encode a file; input and output are binary files."""
	while s := input.read(MAXBINSIZE):
	while len(s) < MAXBINSIZE and (ns := input.read(MAXBINSIZE-len(s))):
	s += ns
	line = binascii.b2a_base64(s)
	output.write(line)

With this change, however, all input is read into memory, which breaks the chunked behavior.

Thanks for the comments

I will checked if isatty to check
if
echo 1234 | ./python.exe -m base64
or
./python.exe -m base64
and do not break the old method

and in stdin old behavior is wrong, so I think is fine.
will check isatty if can check or not.

[yihong0618]

keep the old behavior and use isatty to check
as doc https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stdin

Thank you very much for the review again, I will try to learn how to express the change more clearly.
and do better next time, thanks again

Don't worry. Considering English isn't your first language, you can just leave formulation matters to others.
